00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,000
When we don’t understand a person's actions,

2
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:13,900
it’s easy to assume the worst or think less 
of them.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,300
This attitude, however, creates a breeding 
ground for offense,

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,200
misunderstanding, or conflict.

5
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:27,700
One remedy to this lies in asking questions 
to better understand the other person’s point 
of view.

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:33,800
Now when you ask questions, don’t go in with 
preconceived ideas of what they might say.

7
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:38,800
Be ready to listen to their answer. You see, 
when you’re asking for their opinion,

8
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:40,700
your thoughts are not what is important.

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,500
Theirs are. That’s why I encourage you to 
take the time to ask others for their perspective—

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,300
and then truly listen to their response.
